Research advances in the role of mitochondrial dysfunction in ferroptosis in Alzheimer disease
Ferroptosis is a novel type of oxidatively regulated cell death driven by iron-dependent lipid peroxidation.As the main site of iron utilization and oxidative metabolism,mitochondria are the main source of intracellular reactive oxy-gen species.Ferroptosis is associated with the severe impairment of mitochondrial structure and function,bioenergetics,and metabolism.Alzheimer disease(AD)is a devastating progressive neurodegenerative disease with the main clinical manifestation of decline in memory and cognitive function.Emerging evidence suggests that mitochondrial dysfunction plays a significant role in the process of ferroptosis in AD.This article elaborates on the mechanism of ferroptosis,mito-chondrial dysfunction and its role in ferroptosis in AD,and the treatment of AD,in order to provide a new perspective for exploring new strategies for the prevention and treatment of AD.
